Not to bring this thread back to life, but I recently bought a pair of those New Balance BB610BPs and whoever said it's the best pair they've ever worn, I concur... Thanks!!

Two seasons ago, I went with a Nike shoe. Within a couple of weeks worth of games my achilles were hurting up a storm. I barely made it to the end of the season. That has taught me two things - 1) Make sure that I stretch on a regular basis, and 2) Always wear NB's. The past two season have been a breeze on my achilles despite working in a ever increasing number of game on a year round basis. So I completely agree with JoeTheRef. I have two pair of the 610's. As a matter of fact, I exchanged my pair of Nikes for my second pair of NB's and received a store discount for it.

You're welcome! (That was me way back in post #32 of the thread.) Now I gotta get me a new pair.

I have those. Not my favorite but they do shine nice. They feel heavy to me. Also they run narrow.

Mregor

I used to work in sporting goods . . . NB comes in widths still don't they?:confused:

Wouldn't that make it difficult to move around? :confused:

Hey I thought I read somewhere that the Nike Shox was a good shoe. What does everyone think? Has anyone tried them for officiating?

Mregor, give them another try. They come in 4E widths, which I really need. I have very fat feet, but they are soooo comfortable.

Don't feel bad. Mick has left-handed balls.

I never forget, Mick.

So he's a south paw? :rolleyes:

this thread is long enough, but I just HAD to...

ASICS Men's GT-1000 5

Recently got them too, and they're a nice alternate pair -- breathe well and roomy compared to patent leather Zigs. You can save significant buck$ if you can manage to find last year's model (i.e. this year's is much, much pricier, if I remember correctly).

I buy the GT-1000 every year. They release a new model every year and they are great shoes. Hold up very well and are very comfortable.
